- Galakrond is an extra Legendary for the EVIL classes - they will receive two normal Legendaries as well.

my thoughts too.
A couple more years of Malygos Druid.
That's so refreshing!!
Well, I guess that confirms Dragon Paladin to be a thing. We got 2 dragons with taunt, which means the Dragonspeaker value will be astronomical.
Also, they finally reprinted Steamwheedle Sniper as a playable card, my prayers have been answered.
So the dragon in "Year of the Dragon" was the Galakrond. The Ultimate Plan of the E.V.I.L was reviving him ? cool.
At least i have predicted that Dragon Aspects will return in different forms.
So let's see how Alexstrazsa for hunter, Malygos for Mage and Nozdormu for Paladin. Yay, I will love this expansion probably, That was what I was waiting for.
I’m pretty hyped, not gonna lie. Let’s see which card is gonna be too op when the expansion hits
Well, there's the dragon expansion I guess.
Also I'm confused as to how Galakrond works? He's a class card, but he gets specific neutrals to support him?
All 5 EVIL classes has him and I think you get all 5 for free? Idk but he's like C'thun for EVILs.
There are 5 different versions of him, one for each EVIL class, so the neutral cards can go in each of those classes decks to support that class's version of Galakrond. At least I believe that's the case, not entirely sure.
oh okay, that makes way more sense then.
Here's hoping the Warlock version gives Gul'dan an actual win condition for a change
you are right .
Pre-order hero is Nelfarion Warrior Hero Card! 100 packs for 80 bucks. That went up as well.
Hero card or Hero portrait?
Portrait
So, Galakrond is available for all classes and has the same effect?
from what I understand there are 5 different versions (for the league of Evil) that all share the Invoke upgrade but have different effects. Rogue is Sprint on Steroids, and the others will probably be something other class related
guess what. we got dragons. Kibler is gonna need a medic
he's gonna need some hydration from creaming his pants non-stop.
